GENERAL CHANGES

Major improvements in the construction regime!

Now players can build buildings anywhere, even on cells occupied by trees, stones, and cars.

Different things will no longer distract you from the construction.

Building support works as before – only land and other buildings can support your buildings.

If you run out of material during construction, the game will automatically switch to the next available resource.

You can turn off this mode by unchecking the “Automatic material change” option in the options menu.

Now you can continuously place the selected building elements, holding the main attack button.

You can disable this feature by unchecking the “Turbostroitelstvo” parameter in the parameters menu.

Battle Royale: switching between building elements has become smoother, especially when using a console controller and non-ideal communication quality.

New soundtrack by the orchestra!

Hollywood composers Marco Beltrami (the films “Logan”, “The Hurt Locker”, etc.) and Pinar Toprak (the television series “Krypton”, additional music for the film “The League of Justice”, etc.) wrote new music to play. To record a new soundtrack, we went to Nashville, nicknamed the city of music, and used the services of an amazing orchestra.

“Battle of the Storm”: a new soundtrack completely replaced the old music.

“Royal Battle”: remixes of songs from the new soundtrack are played when entering the game, starting the match and in the lobby.

Added a mode for players with color blindness.

We continue to refine the model and wait for your feedback – especially if you are unable to customize the display of colors in the way that is optimal for you.

Hold down the use/interaction button, approaching the chest or fallen ally to automatically perform the desired action when you get to the desired distance.

This also works when rescuing comrades in the squad!
